PYPB 44: ...like Tetris with boxes, wires and cables

A little more room to maneuver now.
Still need a Faye Sing, and money to buy one.

The upper octave seems to be out of tune on the bass.
Too bad, this little box seemed really nice as a spacesaver!
It does sound a bit strange at times, out of tune and with some latency too. But the jury can be out until we hear more examples.
Getting pretty happy with my set-up:
M9 is probably on its way out, just not using it as much as I thought I would.

Man unchain, that board is SICK. Lovin it. Very well thought out and put together. With nothing but goodness all over it. Where is your Manta?? And what is the board made of? Homemade?
Hm... even a blind could see that it's a SKB...
But I agree with the rest - pretty much a very nice board. Why not give your M9 a chance? I thought that adding an expression pedal multiplies the fun this thing can bring. However, things that have no use make no sense.

I'd wait a couple of weeks for the new improved Faye Sing BTW! ;-)
Hi, everyone! This is the first time ever I post on a PYPB thread. I've been reading you guys for several years, but just recently I bacame a member. I'm from Chile, so pardon me if I make some mistakes while I'm writing this. I must say I love TB and I gotta thank you all for sharing your knowlegde and experience.
Here's my humble board! I know is nothing from another world, compare with the majority of the boards you have, guys, but I'm very happy with it right now. In Chile, I've had three big problems: a) pedals costs you easily twice -or even more- the price you'd pay in the States or Europe; b) the market for bass effects is pretty small and narrow; and c) the used market is ridiculously smaller than the new one (obviously, due to "b)"). This is why I'm even more grateful to you, guys, everytime I read a review or comments about this or that gear. Luckily, Doug Castro is chilean too, then his pedals costs here the same as in the States, so it's not a difficult decision when you got effects like MXR's or EHX's that costs practically the same as Doug's.
I have a dozen other pedals, but these are the ones I like the most. Eventually, I'd use the crybaby for one or two songs, but the tone suck is pretty noticeable, so if I'm not using it I preffer to take it off the signal. The TLC is a damn fine compressor, but the MultiComp is the one I like the most for its features and sound qualities. Also, I know a Pedaltrain may be a better option than the Boss board, but for the moment it works just fine for my needs and it kind of helps me controlling the number of pedals I get (for the sake of my wife's sanity). For cabling, I'm using DiMarzios for long runs, and for patching I got a set of EBS flat cables last november and I couldn't be happier (before I had DiMarzios for that too, but they are very stiff, wich is great for long ones, but no so much for patches).
Well, sorry for the long post, and I'll appreciate any comments or suggestions, guys.
Best regards,
Frank Reiter

Awesome board frank!! Very cool. Especially considering your circumstances. You did a fine job. And welcome to the forum!!

Does this count?
Bought my first pedal yesterday, and at Uni I don't have much in the way of tools/resources or money in general, so I had to make do with what I had!
It's a start. My board started as just a fuzz pedal on the floor
In the 90s, my board was just a boss guitar overdrive pedal on the floor...
Thank you very much, Greg! I really appreciate your words. Man, your board really is a great one! I've seen all the changes it has been through since the past year and it's quite impressing!
Cheers!
Great board indeed
I also used to crowd a BCB60 like that. Still have it.
Thanks, Mike!! I also like your board and your approach when it comes to make the decision about what pedals include or not.
Yeah, I really like the Boss, though is not as versatile as a PT. But, who knows; maybe I end up with a PT.
Very nice, compact and to the point. You can go ahead and remove the plastic film on the polytune
you know its been like that for two years
